With a surprising outcome, I packed up all of my things at the house in only about four hours.  That time also included me hauling everything into the garage and taking apart my old bookshelf and my bed.  I also, somehow, managed to literally drag both my coffee table and my dresser into the garage by myself--no small feat, lemme tell ya.  I can  ( Read more... )

It's funny how things work out sometimes. Unexpectedly, I guess I should say. Just after I made that post last night, I met someone new. Someone who has the possibility of sticking around for a while as a really solid friend. I went over to his apartment today and we baked some pumpkin bread together. That's not an activity I tend to do with ( Read more... )

Well, as of yesterday, my orders to HSC-8 are official.  I'm to report there in May, but no later than June 15th.  What amuses me is the fact that I was approached by a First Class-of-some-sort from HSC-21 as I was leaving work today.  I knew that there were some people who were hoping I'd get orders over there, and he was genuinely disappointed ( Read more... )

"You Amish people--thinking that God will cure all ailments." I heard that from my supervisor when he found out I still hadn't gone to Medical for my back, haha. Well, it didn't hurt that bad today, but this weekend was another story. I was able to get out of bed each day, but only from pure stubbornness. I still might aim to see a chiropractor ( Read more... )

Just a few quick notes while I have the internet available to me. I'm all moved into the house, which was official for me as of Saturday evening. The electricity wasn't turned on until yesterday, so I was living rather Amish-ly, with candlelight and all. So far no major issues to report on the house/roommate front, but it's all still new ( Read more... )

I am known for having bad luck. It hurts me to admit this, but I am also severely clumsy too. These two points can be made solely by the fact that I took a nose dive on my bike this morning. I was trying to avoid a woman with a stroller who was on the sidewalk, so I rode off the curb, unharmed, and then made an attempt to get back on once I was ( Read more... )

Exhaustion and agony--it's a toss up at this point ( Read more... )
